The Lust List
Strip Valentine's Day of the roses, the chocolates, the Hallmarketed exterior, and what remains? Well, lust, of course. Last month, we asked Creative Loafing readers to identify their favorite hotties. We weren't interested in love, in teddy bear affection, in misty-eyed sweetness. No, we wanted lust. And we didn't want strippers, or celebrities, or the fabulously wealthy. What we found...
Amy
Amy was unique among our hotties as the only one to repeatedly interrupt her interview to get up and dance. She's not kidding when she says she loves music. Five minutes with Amy and you'll feel like her best friend. We wonder if that pisses off her real best friend. What do you wanna be when you grow up? An...
Karen
Karen makes one of her nominators "shake violently at the thought of asking her out." That makes him easy to identify in public. That very same closet-epileptic says Karen's the coolest and friendliest person he's ever met in a coffee shop. What do you wanna be when you grow up? Happy. Who's your biggest idol? My mom -- the bomb...
Anna
At the age of 7, Anna pretended to be her twin so she could pay for candy that she had stolen earlier. Unfortunately for us and Coors, she doesn't actually have a twin. Not that she'd be caught dead with a Coors anyway. Among her lustworthy traits is the ability to conduct phone interviews in various states of undress. Unfortunately,...
Kristen
Apres Diem and its predecessor, Cafe Diem, are legendary for the beauty of their staff. For someone to stand out at Apres Diem means hotness of solar proportions. Although it's perfectly acceptable to ask to sit in her section at the restaurant, please don't call 911 and request Kristen as your paramedic; you will be arrested. What do you wanna...
Daniel
He's not a celebrity, but somehow Daniel has managed to find himself a PR handler. He consulted friend and idol Alex Sears for nearly every answer. What do you wanna be when you grow up? I wanna be involved in editing or publishing. Who's your biggest idol? Alex Sears (left) and Eric Moorhead. What do you think is your best...
Kevin
Before we met Kevin, we were missing one subcategory of hotness -- hunky. So what makes Kevin hunky? He's got muscles and broad shoulders, and looks kind of stoic. Even though he's a sculptor, his choice of historical figure to have dinner with is an architect, Frank Lloyd Wright. This makes him well-rounded. What do you wanna be when you...
Elle (pronounced Ellie)
Elle so appealed to one CL reader that he needed the Caps Lock key to adequately describe her. SMOOOOOOTH, GRACEFUL and AMAZING is what he said, along with the intriguing claim that she uses ALL her assets. What do you wanna be when you grow up? A speech pathologist. Who's your biggest idol? My mom. She's a powerful woman. What...
J. (Even his name tag says so)
Said one of J.'s co-workers when describing him: "Damn, damn, damn, damn!" We're inclined to add a couple more exclamation points. What do you wanna be when you grow up? An independent marketing consultant. Who's your biggest idol? Marvin Gaye. What do you think is your best attribute? Compassion. Tell us your favorite joke. Life is funny enough. What should...
Kelvin
Kelvin's nominator is convinced that women in her office jam the copier just to get him to drop by. Writes the nominator: "To see him bend all over the copier results in a bad porn movie fantasy." What do you wanna be when you grow up? A biomedical engineer. Who's your biggest idol? My dad. What do you think is...
Stori
Her nomination not only made a guess at her weight, but also asserted that her "big boobs" are real. Nice. Stori confirms that her breasts are real, but politely asks that you not stare at them when you're ordering food. What do you wanna be when you grow up? I am grown up. This is as far as I can...
Taures
Taures was one of our top, non-ballot-stuffed vote-getters. One person called him the hottest guy in Midtown. Pretty much everyone mentioned his charm, which was evident from hello. He's not only hot, but he's warm. Figure that one out. What do you wanna be when you grow up? I'm in school for public health, but I'm also a singer and...
